Brexit Coin

From the BBC:

"Special 50p coin to mark Brexit"

A commemorative 50p coin will be issued to mark the UK's departure from the European Union (EU) next year. The Budget documents confirmed the coin would be made available in spring 2019. According to The Sun, the coin will feature the Queen's head and the date 29 March 2019 and on the reverse the phrase "Friendship with all nations".  A 50p coin was struck when the UK joined the European Economic Community in 1973 and when the UK held the presidency of the EU in 1998. It is not yet known exactly what the new Brexit coins will look like.  Last year, the Royal Mint issued more than 66 million new 50p pieces in five different designs featuring the Beatrix Potter characters Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, Jeremy Fisher and Benjamin Bunny, as well as the physicist Isaac Newton.  Earlier this year, it minted two special 50p coins to mark the 60th anniversary of Michael Bond's first Paddington Bear book. The Sun newspaper has claimed the minting of the new 50p as a "victory" saying it had "campaigned for the Government to create an enduring gesture to mark Brexit as a landmark national moment". The newspaper quoted sources as saying Brexit was "an historic moment which will rightly be commemorated". It also said, according to Treasury sources, the department had been secretly working on plans for the coin for months, before Conservative MPs began to campaign for one. 

^ With all the years of chaos and disruption Brexit has caused every single person in the UK since the vote to leave and all the years of chaos and disruption Brexit will continue to cause I don't think anyone should celebrate Brexit  - at least not for another decade or so. The British Government should focus on trying to resolve at least some of the countless issues that haven't been addressed with Brexit and it's affect on the UK and the EU before minting a Brexit coin to commemorate it. ^
